Are you thinking of growing indoor plants? If so, you may want to start with snake plants (Sansevieria species) since they are virtually impossible to kill. The only way you kill them is by planting them in a container without drainage holes or using a soil mix that drains poorly. In either case, standing water will cause their roots to rot. However, on the plus side, as long as the water delivered to snake plants can drain through, they will thrive no matter how much light may reach them and can survive for weeks, if not months, without any water at all.
